Vale da Pedra - Portugal

Dancing made me discover one more village in Portugal, this time Vale da Pedra.

It's a common village with simple houses surrounding a church, as usual, I heard that it has a visitable chapel and a recommended farm that I couldn't visit (the program was too tight).

I retain the hospitality that allowed a nice afternoon.

If you mention Cartaxo to a Portuguese, he will reply... wine. If you enter Cartaxo from the south, they will remind you that Cartaxo is linked to... wine.

I think that Cartaxo lost position among the Portuguese greatest producers, and that wine is not so important to Cartaxo now. However... tradition is... tradition, isn't it?

Dancing took me to Vale da Pedra. It's a common village with simple houses surrounding a church, as usual.

I heard that it has a visitable chapel and a recommended farm that I couldn't visit (the program was too tight)., but didn't feel there the characteristics of Ribatejo.

However, I must mention the good hospitality that allowed a nice afternoon.
